Vehicle Production Manager (Wiltshire)

Job overview

There has never been a better time to join the Trust’s Fleet and Equipment team as a Vehicle Production Manager. This  County based role will manage and coordinate day to day operations within our Fleet and Equipment team across the whole of Wiltshire with the aim of maximising the availability of ambulances and equipment for the delivery of patient care.

You will join our team during a period of transformation as we prepare to further implement our Ambulance Vehicle Preparation (AVP) service. Our current teams perform a deep clean of an ambulance every 6 weeks. In contrast, AVP involves cleaning, restocking and refuelling ambulances every day. We are implementing AVP because we need to adapt and change to respond to growing pressure from increasing patient demand levels and the expectation is that changing our ways of working will increase the availability of resources for our patients.

We are looking for a committed, passionate person to create and develop an engaged and highly motivated team by providing positive, inspirational and highly visible leadership, acting as an ambassador for the new Ambulance Vehicle Preparation (AVP) service.

Main duties of the job

Most importantly you will lead and inspire a team of people, but ultimately you will be responsible for ensuring vehicles and equipment are prepared and maintained to meet business requirements in ways that contribute positively toward patient care.

This includes being responsible for the management and coordination of physical and human resources, ensuring they are efficient and effective and operate within budgetary, performance and health & safety parameters.

You will be expected to work with multi-disciplinary teams to continuously develop and evolve productive and efficient ways of working, and contribute to Fleet & Equipment strategy development.

This role will require a hands on approach working with the Deputy Head of Ambulance Vehicle Preparation to ensure performance measures are achieved and operational performance is maintained.
